Simple Joy (Mohlman)
Solos to Sing, Submitted Music (2012-present)
Watching the sun ascend on the horizon
Filling the sky with warmth and light,
Seeing the rays now bursting out of darkness
From the stillness of thy night,
Feeling the early moning’s whisper
Brushing the shadows from my eyes
Slowly I sense the quiet grandeur
That suddenly feels like a surprise.
Simple joy quiet morning
Gentle peace fills the air.
When I sense simplicity’s abundance
I simply know that God is there.
Hearing the flowing sound of nature’s presence
Singing a song of sweet refrain,
Listening for the whispers of my heart song
In the early morning rain,
Calling to me the melodies o wonder
Weaving a tapestry of sound,
Listening carefully to hear the music
Written wherever grace is found.
Simple joy quiet music
Fills my soul, fills the air.
When I sense simplicity’s abundance
I simply know that God is there.
Suddenly seeing, buried in the garden
Tiniest petals covering the earth,
Wondering how I ever missed their beauty
Or ever wondered of their worth,
Brilliantly blue, the hue that mirrors heaven
“Forget me not” they seem to cry.
Hidden among the orchids and the roses
Elegant beauty come to life.
Simple joy quiet beauty
Gentle grace everywhere.
As I sense simplicity’s abundance
I simply know that God is there.
I simply know that God is there.
